Professionally, the RRT staff holds Professional Engineers licenses and/or
Contractor licenses in many states. We also maintain records at the
National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying for
fast-tracking of additional state licensures as required.
Process Engineering
Integrating the structural and electrical elements
of a complete, integrated equipment system is routinely performed by
RRT. We prepare detailed engineering and design documentation for
each project. Every detail is carefully examined and
specified. Our engineers are expert in material handling systems.
All work is performed to code and each interface
point between various trades, equipment vendors and material suppliers is
addressed.

Site &
Building Engineering
RRT project engineers strive to determine the best
solution, taking into account client requirements, existing conditions,
environmental impact, and all governmental laws and regulations. The
site for a materials recovery facility (MRF) is arranged typically to
maximize the utilization of the property while providing safe vehicle
access to the recyclables delivery areas and product load out areas.
Traffic patterns are designed to ease traffic flow and minimize incoming
and outgoing vehicles. All roadways and parking areas meet specific
code requirements.
Topographic surveys are performed to establish
existing grades and serve as the basis of site design. All necessary
site provisions are taken to ensure proper water drainage and to
prevent any soil erosion and sedimentation of adjacent
property.
Building specifications are determined by many
factors including process system requirements, material make-up, daily
throughputs, etc. Facility aesthetics is of great importance to
owners, operators, and public officials. RRT facilities conform to
all Federal and local codes, as well as OSHA standards and regulations.

Technology Research & Development
Our technology development group continually
advances equipment and system improvements for each project. Our staff is
recognized as experts in the industry and, in large part, we have advanced
and driven technology development in this field. Our most recent
technology development projects include:
- Single Stream Recycling (Containers and Fibers)
- Glass Optical Color Sorting
- Mechanical Sorting Systems for Fibers
- Pre-processing of MSW for Composting
- Ergonomic Standards for Manual Sorting Operations
